FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting boards, doors, furniture (wood and laminate), powder coated radiators, and metal surfaces.

Do I need to use a primer?

No, this paint is self-priming, so you do not need to use a separate primer.

Do I need to use a topcoat?

No, this paint is self-sealing, so a topcoat is not required.

How many coats of paint are required?

For a durable finish, a minimum of two coats is recommended, especially on non-porous surfaces. Porous surfaces may require additional coats.

Is this paint safe for children's toys?

Yes, this paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys.

What is the sheen level of this paint?

The paint has a soft-satin sheen finish.

How much area will a 500ml tin cover?

A 500ml tin will provide a coat of up to 7m². For a durable finish, a minimum of 2 coats is required, so your 500ml tin should provide full coverage for 3.5m² on non-porous surfaces.

What should I do if I need more than one tin of paint?

When more than 1 tin of the same colour is needed, it is good practice to ensure batch numbers are identical or to intermix batches prior to commencing painting.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand glossy surfaces for better adhesion.

Paint is showing brush marks.

Apply the paint in thin, even coats. Use a high-quality brush or roller designed for smooth finishes. Allow the paint to dry completely between coats.

Coverage is less than expected.

Porous surfaces may require additional coats. Ensure the paint is applied evenly and allow for proper drying time between coats.
